Sweeney is hoping that having Krejci, Zboril and Zacha around might make it feel better for him and make him want to stay but that’s a gamble at best. Am I missing a Czech? Jakob Lauko is a Czech but has kind of disappeared on the depth charts. Any chance Pasta embraces the magnitude of the situation and steps up to work on all the details, leadership and nuances of the game that takes him to even another level as a professional. To somewhat emulate a Chara, Bergeron, Marchand. Kind of what Taylor Hall alluded to when he resigned. Nosek also a Czech. He signs with the Bruins and has a career worst season not by pts but only 3 goals after 3 straight seasons with 8 goals in less games www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=144787

AUTHOR AUG 22 Mark Easson David Pastrnak is not really concerned that he doesn’t have an extension done Jimmy Murphy of Boston Hockey Now: Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak doesn’t seem too concerned that there haven’t been much contract extension talks this offseason and things seem to be on hold according to a Czech media report.
“The Bruins didn’t have a lot of time for me over the summer because they had other issues to attend to,” Pastrnak told Blesk. “I still have a one-year contract, so I’m not thinking about it at the moment and I want to prepare myself well physically.”
Bruins GM Don Sweeney said earlier this month that talks were ongoing and not too worried about it.

My worry with this not getting done now is that it really opens the door for him to have a huge year and test the open market (commanding much more than 9.5 per). How the hell are we replacing the goals lost if he leaves? If he can get 11-12 per for 7 years somewhere else, it shoots our 9.5 per for 8 years to shit!

I think Bruins could actually have a better team if they played their cards right and brought in 2 players at $5 million each BUT it would have to be a move for present and future..I really dont think he'll be a Bruin beyond this season and HATE the thought of losing him for nothing

I guess I am still thinking Sweeney gets it done but the longer it takes, the worse off it will be for us! I really don't like the uncertainty!

See Ory thats ezact same thing I'm worried about and why I think IF DS cannot get him signed longterm NOW, he HAS to trade him now..He'll never get a better return than before season begins..Again, IF Pasta refuses to sign longterm now and personally I dont think he'll sign longterm..Depends on where he wants to live his next few years..

Pasta has a limited no trade clause in his contract. He can pick 10 teams that he will not go to. If he does not want to stay in Boston then I trade him to the team with the best prospects and picks. No way I trade him to a Tampa, Rangers, Avalanche.

I think Pasta is a Pretty Stand up guy and if he feels like asking out after this season he would probably let the Bs know before July 1 and agree to a Sign and Trade. I don't think he would be the type to screw them over.

I don't think he would be the type to screw them over. I dont think this would make a huge difference but the Bruins are the only team that can offer him an 8 yr deal, every other team is a maximun 7 yrs..BUT I guess a sign and trade would change that unless he wanted to test the market as he'll be an UFA after this season..You're right, he seems like a stand up guy and I REALLY hope he resigns with Boston..Would be alot easier on Bruin fans and of course management and team if he signed before this season began!! Always the chance he gets hurt or has a bad season..OR could have a career yr..

Always the chance he gets hurt or has a bad season..OR could have a career yr.. His comments seem calculated to me. Right now we have the most leverage we’re going to have. We can trade him for the best offer from 1 of 21 different teams. If he’s worried about winning he can’t control where he goes and it’s not the Bruins job to send him to a contender it’s to get the best return. He wants to play out this year with the guys, doesn’t want to be traded now and if the Bruins are in a solid playoff spot by trade deadline he’s banking on Sweeney keeping him around for a deep playoff run. Also a trade deadline deal cuts down the number of suitors and the return wouldn’t be even close to what we would hope for. If Sweeney let’s him walk for nothing it’s a fireable offence and it’ll put the Bruins in the bottom of the league for years.

The horrendous returns for both Thornton and Seguin were mitigated partially by the players we had in the pipeline at the time, i.e. Bergeron, Krejci, etc. We don't have that buffer this time around.

Part of me thinks that even if Pastrnak does end up signing an extension is it the right thing to do. Let say he signs a 7 or 8 year deal at an AAV of 9.5 million, How’s Pastrnak going to look if his setup man is Coyle, Studnicka, Beecher or Merkolov?
With that said, every scenario beats losing him for nothing at the end of the season. Just don’t give him a no trade clause.

Here’s 8 teams with the most cap space available. Have to think a few are on Pasta’s no trade list, others are divisional rivals. Dealing him now or later will be no easy task, Dallas maybe? If winning is such a priority now for him maybe he should work on not leading the team in turnovers (77) and being last in blocked shots(14).

I still think he’s just saying the things he needs to say to fans. He loves it here and is confident a deal can get done but no rush.. blah blah blah. He’s not that naïve. Being in no rush and waiting this extension out works in his favour.

I know how you're feeling brother cause I feel the same..Pastrnak OR 10 million in cap space where you can sign 2 good young players to contracts of 5 million a season Longterm [for example]. IF he dont sign longterm before season ends, he might walk for nothing but Boston WILL have cash to go even younger..I guess it's a matter of which you prefer..

He and my husband have the same hair now. Good to see him talking positive about the upcoming season.
